DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Imre Galambos (Cambridge)\n\nThe lecture is a
 vailable live at Zoom. Please pre-register here until 25 February 2021\, 1
 2 pm.\n\nStein painting 3 (Ch.xxxviii.005) at the British Museum is a silk
  painting with a symmetrical composition of two Avalokiteśvara figures fa
 cing each other. With 147.3 × 105.3 cm in size\, this is among the larger
  paintings from Dunhuang. At the top centre of the composition\, between t
 he two figures is a donor inscription inside a yellow cartouche. The inscr
 iption contains no date but has been dated to the mid-ninth century on the
  basis of a supposed reference to the Tibetan control of the region. Imre 
 Galambos examines the inscription and argues that it does not refer to th
 e Tibetan rule of Dunhuang but is simply about a woman who lives away from
  her original home. His presentation also shows that we can improve on th
 e reading of the inscription\, which in turn modifies our translation. In 
 view of these considerations\, the manuscript almost certainly dates to th
 e tenth century.
